2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中But when I went t America, I was really lking frward t having a nice and easy hliday withut any language prblems..可知,作者原以為在美國(guó)不會(huì)遇到語(yǔ)言麻煩。B項(xiàng)“他會(huì)不理解美國(guó)人”、C項(xiàng)“美國(guó)人可能會(huì)不理解他”和D項(xiàng)“他在飛機(jī)場(chǎng)會(huì)有困難”均不符合題意。
3.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中I was lking fr a public telephne t give my friend Mary a ring and tell her that I had arrived.可知,作者實(shí)際上是想給朋友打電話(huà)。A項(xiàng)“他想給他的朋友買(mǎi)一個(gè)戒指”、C項(xiàng)“他想去電話(huà)公司”和D項(xiàng)“他想要他的朋友為他送行”均不符合題意。
4.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中那位美國(guó)老人和作者的對(duì)話(huà)可知,在美國(guó)give smebdy a ring意思是“給某人一個(gè)戒指”,而在英國(guó)give smebdy a ring意思是“給某人打個(gè)電話(huà)”。
B
語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文介紹了英式英語(yǔ)和美式英語(yǔ)的不同之處:詞匯、動(dòng)詞過(guò)去式、拼寫(xiě)。盡管有不同,但這并不影響兩國(guó)人的交流。

7.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中British and American English have far mre similarities than differences. With the exceptin f sme reginal dialects, mst British peple and Americans can understand each ther withut t much difficulty.可知,英式英語(yǔ)和美式英語(yǔ)的相似之處遠(yuǎn)多于不同之處,除了一些方言,大多數(shù)英國(guó)人和美國(guó)人之間的交流是沒(méi)有多大問(wèn)題的。D項(xiàng)“它們的不同之處對(duì)交流幾乎沒(méi)有影響?!狈弦陨险f(shuō)法,故選D項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)“它們都有一些奇怪的詞?!薄項(xiàng)“它們正在影響使用它們的人們”和C項(xiàng)“它們將兩個(gè)國(guó)家的人們聯(lián)系在一起?!本环项}意。
